• Open Adobe Acrobat Professional

• Select Document > Compare Documents from the menu

• Select the source document (older document) and the document to which comparison is to be made

• Select 'Type of Comparison'

• Page by page visual differences - this has some options as to detailed analysis (slow), coarse analysis (faster) or normal analysis

• Textual Differences - optionally, include font information for comparison as well

• Choose comparison report type

• Side by side report: In this option both documents are displayed side by side and the deletions or insertions highlighted

• Consolidated report: In this option one consolidated document is displayed with the deletions or insertions highlighted

What type of comparison to choose? The type of comparison to choose depends on whether you need detailed analysis or just a visual glance of the changes made. For instance, 'Textual Differences' along with 'Side by side report' gives a summary of the number of words added or deleted, number of words matched
etc. and deletions are marked with a strike through and insertions as underlined text.
